摘要
Mature compost is safe and stable, yet quality assessments are challenging owing to current maturity indicators' limitations. This study employed density fractionation to separate organic carbon into light and heavy fractions, offering a new perspective for assessing maturity. Results showed that light fraction organic carbon progressively transitioned into heavy fraction during composting, reducing the proportion of total organic carbon from 82.82% to 44.03%, while heavy fraction organic carbon increased to 48.58%. During the first seven days, the reduction rate of light fraction organic carbon decreased slowly, while the increase rate of heavy fraction declined sharply, levelling off thereafter. Light/heavy fraction organic carbon ratio was significantly correlated with existing maturity indicators (carbon/nitrogen ratio, humic acid/fulvic acid ratio, biological growth-related indicators), with the ratio below 1.33 serving as a potential compost maturity marker. Thus, given its simplicity and reliability, organic carbon density fractions is an innovative indicator for compost maturity assessments.
